1689, from day to day
1689. With other artists, Arcangelo Corelli, Giuseppe Torelli and Henry Purcell influenced their time (baroque era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, while others would disappear. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “The Fairy-Queen” de Henry Purcell, for example.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1689 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists 20 of these moments for 1689.
